Thanks guys, I haven't started yet however I'm gathering up all the parts I think I need. So far I have a nice sealed hood, digital 600w ballast and a mid grade 4x4x7 tent and some other bits and pieces I pick up. I'm trying to do this on a budget, just like most everyone. But I can't think of a better retirement hobby!! Just need a fan and filter and I should be good to go. Thinking about picking up some clones locally (NorCal). I'll be posting when things get rolling about the middle of January.
Peace!
